Second-dose vaccine appointments take priority
Due to the limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses, Los Angeles County-operated vaccination sites are open only to those due for their second dose for the remainder of the week, according to L.A. County Department of Public Health officials.
Health care workers and residents 65 and older who received their first dose at county-operated sites are now able to visit one of these sites to receive their second dose.
In addition to the local site at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia giving the Pfizer vaccine, the other county-operated sites include:
▪ Pomona Fairplex in Pomona (Pfizer).
▪ The Forum in Inglewood
(Pfizer).
▪ California State University, Northridge (Pfizer).
▪ L.A. County Office of Education in Downey (Pfizer).
▪ Balboa Sports Complex in Encino (Moderna).
▪ El Sereno Recreation Center in Los Angeles (Moderna).
To receive a vaccine at these sites, you must have an appointment or be due for your second dose and you must provide documentation of the first dose with either a white card with the date of the first dose, a letter from Public Health, an electronic health record or a first dose confirmation email.
Eligible residents must receive the same type of vaccine for their second dose (either
Pfizer or Moderna) as the first dose, and should contact the provider where they got the first dose to schedule the second-dose appointment. People who do not meet these criteria will not be vaccinated, per Public Health.
